Lord have mercy, if I could give this place 10 stars, I would. Millers is absolutely DELICIOUS! I now understand why the lines are always so long to get in. I went for the first time about a week ago; definitely want to go back. Not pictured; homemade cornbread and buttered potatoes. Oh man, so delicious. The ribs were falling off the bone, the cornbread was warm and flavorful. The food was amazing. And I like the rustic vibe the restaurant has. Plenty of places to sit, bathrooms are clean, staff is very involved. read more

Miller's Smokehouse - Half rack of ribs - Barbeque Near Me - Belton, Texas

Came across this place randomly on our travels. Delicious BBQ and sides and bonus points for outstanding espresso! We had 2 sliced brisket sandwiches and sides. The gameplay was to eat half and bring half home. Nope. So good we ate it all. I judge BBQ joints on the meat, the coleslaw, and sauce. Coleslaw was fresh and crunchy and just the right amount of sweet. The sandwiches had the right amount of bark to make the flavor out of this world. Miller's sauce is a bit sweet but they follow BBQ tradition and don't put it on the sandwich so you can add the amount you want. My husband had the beans as his side and said the flavor and texture were perfect. He liked the amount of pepper on the beans. The drip coffee was out at 1:55 pm but the barista suggested a macchiato and water instead. It hit the spot. Excellent flavor and Miller's sells bags of its coffee, too. They had pies, banana pudding, "adult" drinks, etc. I would have loved to try their banana pudding but had no self-control on the sandwich and didn't have the stomach room. Sorry about horrible photo; it tastes better that it looks. read more

Miller's Smokehouse - Sliced brisket sandwich and coleslaw...yum! - Barbeque Near Me - Belton, Texas

Incredible flavors and perfectly cooked! We'll be coming back again to this place anytime we visit Texas.

Amazing barbecue. The place has a cool feel and staff are super polite. We ordered the big un, the fire-in-a-bowl and the chopped brisket sandwich. The brisket on all 3 was amazing. Perfect salt, pepper and smoke deliciously prepared. The fire in a bowl was and elevated frito pie. It also comes with tortillas that I used to make tacos with the supplied potatoes, onions and pickles. So crazy good. This is an exceptional barbecue restaurant that is a must visit if you are travel through Belton. We will go here many times in the future. read more

This place was amazing! As a matter of fact, it was so good that I forgot to take a picture. I got the pulled pork, with onions and pickles, a side of potato salad, cornbread and a choc chip cookie. I'd gladly return and try anything else they serve! read more

I arrived early and thought I would wait in the truck until they opened because it was COLD outside. About 5-10 minutes before opening someone knocked at my window and took my order! That was a pleasant surprise. I think if you park by the side you get a drive thru order. That was awesome but I kinda wanted to check the place out. No big deal, that was super convenient. First up I ordered the SOS (biscuits and gravy). They came in a heavy duty microwaveable container that's now in my cabinet! The biscuits and gravy on their own were very good. A bit over salted and I am not an anti salt guy. Not enough to turn me away of course, but just a warning if you care. The biscuits were wonderfully cooked and sausage was mighty fine. In order to check out the pit effort I also ordered a Brisjet & Egg breakfast taco. Of course I added cheese when asked. It was the best brisket and egg breakfast taco ever! Perfect scrambled eggs, wonderful tortilla and the smokey brisket was just a perfect protein to this portable breakfast. Definitely a recommended spot. read more

Great food, great customer service. Great prices. Have eaten here several times and it is always good.

Working through the Top 50 and unfortunately I don't have much to report here. Its a very nice and clean and modern joint that gives me more 'restaurant' vibes than 'a place where meat gets smoked' vibes. This place is a straight up factory though. Our table was right by the pick up window and there's just tons of food popping out order after order like I was in a diner. Not a criticism at all just not something I've ever seen at a saw dust joint. You kinda have to see it for yourself. That said my brisket had an amazing smoke ring, and that's it. Was so incredibly dry. Tasted like leather. Sausage was not memorable for me because it was practically cold. Strangely it actually tasted really really good after the leftovers were reheated at home. I will say the pulled pork was actually quite good. Very good smoke on it. Perfectly moist. I was very surprised. The broccoli salad was ok. Not great not terrible. Green beans were an unusual journey starting with super intense savory flavor and ending with salt punching you in the face. Buttered potatoes turned out to be a little on the greasy side but something I never seen in a barbecue joint before, so I am glad I got to try em. Best thing I ate was the sopapilla cheesecake. I never order dessert but the reviews told me to so I did. What a very special dessert. Crust was light and flaky and I loved that cinnamon sugary hard shell on top of the cheesecake. Very good! Welp that's it. Hope your experience was better than mine. Enjoy. read more

Miller's Smokehouse - Clockwise: Green Beans; Broccoli Salad; Buttered Potatoes; Pulled Pork; Brisket; Sausage - Barbeque Near Me - Belton, Texas

Came in for lunch and got half a pound of brisket, half moist half lean. The lean had excellent flavor and the moist just melted in your mouth. Up there with all the other top places in Texas. I also got a quarter pound of the turkey and it was as tender of turkey I ever had. The service was pretty quick, didn't have to wait a long time. You order at the register and they bring the food to you which is a little different from other barbecue places which doesn't matter but is maybe worth noting. Overall very good and will return when I'm in the area read more

BBQ and pies share the spotlight at Miller's Smokehouse. Their website has a great story about how the business got started. I remember their old location, with its long and narrow dining area and smokers going in the alley. Current location is a big improvement, with an air-conditioned patio and a nice little bar serving draft beer and a few mixed drinks. There's often a short wait to enter, but the line is shaded and well-organized. I like to order a small plate to save room for the housemade desserts. Quarter pound of moist brisket with 2 individual sides is perfect for me. Brisket is a prime cut and has a nice salty bark. Green beans are bright and peppery - if the server hadn't confessed to us that they're canned, I never would have known. Housemade sausage is also great, and the pinto beans are alright. Try a 512 Pecan Porter with your BBQ - it's richly flavored but not too sweet. Coconut cream pie, featuring plenty of whipped cream and a flaky crust, is my all-time favorite. Key lime pie with Graham cracker crust is also a nice ending. The sopapilla cheesecake looks delicious, but I haven't tried it yet. Bar also features fresh coffee to accompany your dessert. read more

Definitely need to stop here if you are in Belton! The brisket is outstanding. Desserts and coffee are delicious. House-made sausage is life changing!! read more

There's a reason this is voted one of the best BBQ joints in TX! Love the atmosphere in this place, lively and great views of the cute town of Belton. The menu is so hard to pick from! You have to keep coming back to try it all, it's so good. We had turkey, brisket, ribs, and so many sides. Every meat has such a perfect smokey flavor, and the turkey is ultra juicy. I seriously could eat like 3 lbs of it. I loooove their sauce, too. Well-balanced and complemented the meat. For the sides, I think the potato salad was my favorite. I love a good pickley potato salad! I can't wait to come back for more and next time get dessert! read more

Millers is a very popular place for BBQ but I feel the hype is a little overrated for the price you pay for the food. BBQ is good and I have had a lot of their offerings. For Pork and Beef just ok, the turkey and sausage are really good juicy and flavorful. Sides need some help something you can buy in most supermarkets. Service is good if you like ordering and waiting on yourself. It is a place that tourists like to go visit and are not disappointed. Again good bbq but nothing special! read more

I visited this place for the first time because it had 4.7 stars where other barbecue restaurants in the area had four to four and a half stars I ordered the quarter pound of sliced brisket wet and because I it was only available a half a rack of ribs For being a smokehouse I don't taste that much smoke in either the ribs or the brisket The brisket does have a nice smoke ring however as do the ribs so maybe it's just me The restaurant was busy the staff was nice and friendly and attentive I will come back if I'm in the area read more

First time here!! Cute lil town! Had to try a great place in this historic town. We enjoyed the camaraderie with the staff & the prices were so affordable. First off, The rack of pork baby backs were so tender & they offer a bbq squirt bottle at the table! We ordered 1/2 lb of homemade sausage, & 1/2 lb. brisket, Mac n cheese, and oh my goodness that broccoli salad was so yummy!!! We got those buttered potatoes & potato salad as sides. We ended our food adventure with banana pudding & the chocolate pie. The food was so delish! 10/10 recommend!! If you are near this lil gem go & try this yummy bbq. The cornbread was amazing & so moist too! They also have a coffee bar & a few alcoholic beverages, we did not partake in, but it seemed poppin. The soda fountain has plenty of options! They do offer sweet & unsweet tea. Thank you for your hospitality! read more

One of the best restaurants in Belton. The food scene in the area is kind of a bust but Miller's is the best BBQ around. The brisket and sausage are delicious and the buttered potatoes are the best side. I always get the Fire in the Bowl and it's very filling. The only thing that is keeping me from giving a perfect 5 stays is that it is overpriced as some modern and trendy BBQ restaurants are. There is usually a line on the weekends and service can get pretty backed up so I would recommend going on a weekday if you're in a crunch for time. read more

Came here for lunch on a Friday afternoon, not too much of a or wait at that point, but I can imagine they get pretty busy on weekends around the same time. We were surprised to find no outdoor seating was available given their page indicated it was. Their staff appeared to be doing the best they can covid wise, but the seating arrangements and overall spacing were less than ideal. We were thankfully able to get a table pretty well spaced out, but would say dine in wise the experience was not ideal. We had heard Miller's was known for their ribs so we split a rack along with some brisket (can't judge a Texas bbq place and not try their brisket). We were also intrigued with some of their less traditional sides and went for the broccoli salad and the buttered potatoes. I thought the pork ribs tasted great, they were super juicy and had enough substance to not melt in your mouth but really make its presence known. If you're looking for ribs with a lot of seasoning these may not be for you, but I thought the flavor stood up really well on its own. I didn't love how they were a bit of a grease bomb, we were worried the oil might seep through our metal trays by the end of the meal, but otherwise they lived up to the hype. By comparison I thought the brisket was kind of lacking. Even with a vibrant smoke ring the flavor was surprisingly bland, even the moist part of the brisket didn't deliver much more than texture and a vessel for their thick molasses like bbq sauce. We were pretty impressed with the sides, particularly the buttered potatoes. There was a great balance of the onion and spices along with the creaminess from the potato and butter. As someone who doesn't go for slaw but really likes broccoli I had mixed feelings going into the broccoli salad, but thought it was really good! The cranberries in particular put it over the top for me. Would definitely recommend trying both of these sides. Overall, I'd say they're worth the drive from Austin given their strengths are in areas that can be a little lacking in the Austin bbq scene (ribs and sides). However, I would recommend waiting a bit until the covid situation is in better shape as I don't think their handling the situation as well as other comparable options are given the lack of outdoor options. read more

This was stop number two on our BBQ exploration. I ordered the Jalapeño and cheese sausage and Macaroni with a banana pudding for desert. The sausage was just a touch better than the joint up the road and my friend thought the brisket was also just a hair better here than up the block. Service was fast and super friendly. Definitely recommend! read more

I consider this establishment a staple in my life. I have wonderful friends that work here and the business is ran by some excellent folks. The food is out of this world. Brisket and cutter meats are very juicy and savory and my goto is the BBQ chicken half's. Remember that chicken growing up with lots of seasoning and that sticky BBQ sauce that coated your fingers and made you lick for days.. Yeah so you'll get that chicken right here. The sides are excellent and the green beans are quality with a bright green organic taste.. Service is great, fast and the folks are on-top of it. The atmosphere is day bright and natural, a little volume driven with kids at times but overall this place is a 6 star BBQ joint. Oh and if you're looking for a tasty breakfast and some of the best coffee on the market while eating breakfast lunch or dinner look no further than Millers!! read more

This spot never disappoints. Their barbecue is delicious, flavorful and juicy. I tend to go for the moist brisket and their sausage. They started selling hamburgers on Thursdays. It's a double cheeseburger with bacon and bbq sauce. I believe their patties are made with brisket, regardless it's very juicy. Their bacon is thick and crispy. The bun is nice and soft and holds the hamburger well. read more

Kind of hard to believe I hadn't already left a review for Miller's. Such a gem in central Texas! Besides a beautiful, large, comfortable atmosphere the absolute best thing about this place is the fine attention to detail when it comes to putting out the BEST products possible. Everything that I've had on their menu has always been top notch, made with care. SO much of their menu is made from scratch, as it should be. Truly the best of BBQ, baked goods, AND coffee/espresso by Muscovy. Phenomenal favorites all under one roof! read more
